Moxa SFP-1GLXLC-T , 1000BaseLX, LC connector, 10 km content_copy

The Moxa SFP-1GLXLC-T is an industrial-grade 1-Port Gigabit SFP module designed for long-distance transmission over fiber optic cable. It features an LC duplex connector and enables data transmission over single-mode fiber with a maximum reach of up to 10 km, depending on the link budget and fiber quality. The module is based on the 1000BaseLX standard and is therefore suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. With an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C, it is designed for use in harsh industrial environments, including outdoor or temperature-critical installations. The high temperature resistance makes it particularly suitable for use in process industries, power generation, or heavy industrial applications.

Applications
This module is designed for applications in industrial network environments where reliable and stable data transmission over long distances is required. It is particularly suitable for connecting switches, routers, or other network devices in distributed infrastructures, such as in factories, power supply networks, or in marine and offshore applications. The DNV certification highlights its suitability for maritime applications, where high requirements for safety and environmental resistance apply.

Features and Specifications in Detail
The SFP module is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be inserted or removed from a compatible SFP slot without interrupting network operation. This simplifies network maintenance and expansion. Compatibility with IEEE 802.3z ensures interoperability with standard Gigabit Ethernet networks. The module features a duplex LC connector designed for single-mode fiber, providing a secure mechanical connection. The maximum power consumption is 1 W, enabling efficient power supply over the network cable (PoE) if the network hardware supports it.

Technology Explained Simply
The 1000BaseLX standard enables a data transfer rate of 1 Gigabit per second over single-mode fiber. The use of single-mode fiber ensures low attenuation and high bandwidth, allowing transmission over distances up to 10 km. The LC connector is compact and robust, ideal for use in tight device housings. Laser class 1 (according to IEC 60825-1) ensures that the module poses no eye hazard during normal use. EMC and safety certifications (e.g., UL 62368-1, IEC 62368-1, FCC 15B) guarantee that the device operates without interference in various environments and meets applicable safety standards.

Compatibility and Accessories
The module is designed for use in SFP slots of switches, routers, or other network devices that support Gigabit Ethernet over fiber. It is compatible with IEEE 802.3z, enabling broad usability in existing network infrastructures. The DNV certification makes it particularly suitable for maritime applications, where specific approvals are required.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the module into a free SFP slot of a compatible network device. Due to its hot-pluggable feature, this can be done even during operation without interrupting network services. The mechanical connection is established via the LC duplex connector, which is securely inserted into the fiber cable. Adherence to environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) is important to ensure stable operation.

Operational Advantages
The module offers high reliability in demanding environments due to its extended temperature range and robust construction. The DNV certification opens up application possibilities in the maritime industry. The hot-pluggable feature reduces downtime during maintenance. The low power consumption of 1 W contributes to energy efficiency. Compatibility with standard network protocols and hardware simplifies integration into existing systems.

Certifications and Environmental Conditions
The module complies with numerous international standards, including safety standards (UL 62368-1, IEC 62368-1), EMC requirements (EN 55032/35, FCC 15B, ICES-003), and EMS tests (e.g., ESD, EFT, Surge). The operating temperature ranges from -40 to 85 °C, and the storage temperature is in the same range. Humidity is 5–95 % (non-condensing). The warranty period is 5 years; further details are available on the manufacturer’s website.

Protection Rating and Environmental Resistance
The certifications and temperature range indicate high environmental resistance, although no explicit IP rating is specified. The DNV certification emphasizes suitability for maritime applications, where high environmental resistance requirements apply.
